They took him to a farm , tortured and killed him. \"Several days later, I found Hussein and Mohammad Muaed al-Tahan and his brother Yassar, and Hassan al-Tahan sitting near my house. They were talking about a place called University of Ibla… Hassan told them that it was on the Aleppo-Damascus Highway… after two days, I heard one of them saying thanks God, we fulfilled the operation early… I asked them what are you talking about, they answered: we killed Mr. Sarya, son of the Mufti at the hands of Mohammad Muaed al-Tahan.\" Shaaban added that members of the armed group went to the university and waited for Sarya\'s car to come. Once it arrived, Mohammad Mouaiad al-Tahan got off the car and killed him and his counsin killed sarya\'s companion and then they ran away.
